News website goes into print

An online, non-profit news outlet, the San Francisco Public Press, yesterday went "backwards" by publishing a print edition. The 28-page paper will sell on newsstands for $2 (£1.35) a copy.

It is expected to be a quarterly, though it's really an experiment to test the market. Michael Stoll, the outlet's executive director, says that if the demand is there, he would eventually like to print daily.

And SFPP's director of operations, Lila LaHood, said the print version is an important way to "bridge the digital divide" and reach under-served populations.
